Yeah it's similar to modeling, but social media completely changes the dynamics. Models usually work in controlled environments with professional photographers and have their pictures airbrushed to perfection. The final result is published in some magazine and any enquiries are handled by some middleman. As you can see there are many layers insulating a model from her fans. Social media completely tears that down and you get metrics like "likes" and you read comments from people from all over, and suddenly there's a pressure on you from all these people. They also don't really have the support network like other models or photographers or editors or managers. They're usually doing it all on their own on their phones with light editing to get that "natural" look. Lastly at her age she's a high-school senior, old, but hardly what I'd consider responsible enough to handle her personal life professionally, especially when her whole image was embedded in social media.
